The setting shifts many times in this book, with the main places being in Slidell, Louisiana, and Sweetwater, Texas. The book is set in the 1940s during WWll.

This book was terrible. There was way too much rising action that led to a dull climax, and the book was boring overall. The worst part of the book is that it ends on a cliffhanger with many unanswered questions, and there will not be a sequel. I would not recommend this book to anyone because it was very poorly written.

The title, "Flygirl", is significant because the book is about a woman who against all racial and sexual stereotypes, was able to get her pilot's license to be able to help WWll end.

Ida is brave, stubborn, smart, amiable, and adventurous.

I can connect to Ida Mae Jones because her dream is to become a pilot, and I want to become a pilot also.

This book takes place during WWll, so I can connect the events in the book to real-life events at that time, such as the very start of WWll.

The theme of this book is bravery. Ida Mae Jones is fearless throughout the story. She is living in a time where women and people of color were not given an opportunity in many aspects of life. “If you're colored, you get the short end of the stick. If you're a woman, you get the short end of the stick. So what do we get for being colored and women?” (Smith 83). However, she is brave by (illegally) getting into the WASP program (which was for white females, but she is colored) by pretending that she is a white female. This is brave because if she is caught, she could be in serious trouble. Also, she is brave because this is a huge women's rights movement that not many people supported at this time. Overall, Ida is courageous throughout the story, and we can see that through her actions.

Ida is struggling with the idea of her pretending to be white amongst real white people (who were the only people legally allowed to become a pilot) and it is making her nervous and hesitant to the idea of actually becoming a pilot.

Ida and her best friend, Jolene, have an argument about Ida's fake identity. This argument tears their friendship apart due to their drastic opposing views.

Ida goes against society by defying cultural norms where only white men can be pilots, and she is a mixed woman.
